GraphRXN: A Novel Representation for Reaction Prediction

August 10, 2022

In recent years, it has been seen that artificial intelligence (AI) starts to bring revolutionary changes to chemical synthesis. However, the lack of suitable ways of representing chemical reactions and the scarceness of reaction data has limited the wider application of AI to reaction prediction. Here, we introduce a novel reaction representation, GraphRXN, for reaction prediction. It utilizes a universal graph-based neural network framework to encode chemical reactions by directly taking two-dimension reaction structures as inputs. The GraphRXN model was evaluated by three publically available chemical reaction datasets and gave on-par or superior results compared with other baseline models. To further evaluate the effectiveness of GraphRXN, wet-lab experiments were carried out for the purpose of generating reaction data. GraphRXN model was then built on high-throughput experimentation data and a decent accuracy (R2 of 0.713) was obtained on our in-house data validation. This highlights that the GraphRXN model can be deployed in an integrated workflow which combines robotics and AI technologies for forward reaction prediction.

Autonomous Synthesis and Inverse Design of Electrochromic Polymers with High Efficiency and Accuracy

The design and synthesis of functional polymers, aimed at targeted properties through specific structures, have long been challenged by their complex and often nonlinear structure− property relationships. Key processes, including knowledge accumulation for predictive design and experimental refinement and validation, are traditionally labor-insensitive and timeconsuming, making it difficult to balance accuracy and efficiency.

Localization, inspection, and reasoning (LIRA) module for autonomous workflows in self-driving laboratories

Self-driving labs (SDLs) combine robotic automation with artificial intelligence (AI) to allow autonomous, high-throughput experimentation. However, robot manipulation in most SDL workflows operates in an open-loop manner, lacking real-time error detection and error correction. This can reduce reliability and overall efficiency.
